Instructions

In a large pot, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion (minus 2 Tbsp raw onion) for 2-4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the allspice, thyme, chili flakes, coconut milk, water and rice, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer, cover the pot, and cook for approximately 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed. While the rice is cooking, gently stir together the kiwi, oranges, 2 tablespoons minced raw yellow onion, ginger, jalapeño, and lime juice in a mixing bowl. Set aside. Once the rice is done, add the kidney beans, red wine vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well. Serve with the orange kiwi salsa on the side.
